Hello!! Christmas is right around the corner and Page Drafts has released some wonderful Christmas themed sketches up on their blog! These sketches are great for those Holiday photos!!! I was lucky enough to join in with other very talented designers and created a couple of samples for the sketches. Here are my layouts and the sketches:

This next layout I created for If It's Groovy. Since it's the cold time of the year and I am rushing around trying to get ready for the holidays, I wanted to remember when I was on vacation relaxing in the sun sippin' the good stuff! LOL

And Lastly, I am sooo excited to announce that I will be the Guest Designer over at Back Porch Memories in January! :) I am super excited!! Here is the Layout I created for their Guest Designer challenge:

I had some free time yesterday and was able to complete some projects! :)

First, let me give props to Brenda Ragsdale for encouraging me to create this layout. lol :) These photos were taken from my phone and sent to her as a joke. She gave me the idea to scrap them and call the layout "Wiggin' Out". She also found the perfect sketch for it too!!! So Thank you Brenda!!! :)

I used 3 Bugs in a Rug collection that I got from the Scrap-Room for winning a sketch challenge. Thank you Scrap-Room!!! :)

Oh.... it's beginning to feel alot like Christmas!!! One thing our family loves to do at the beginning of December is decorating our the tree and our house while listening to our favorite Christmas music! So here is a layout showcasing our tree!

I couldn't wait to get my Authentique Original Collection in the mail (Thank You Paper Secrets!) because I couldn't wait to start on Authentique's color combo. The paper with the pockets was perfect for the sketch challenge from Page Maps! So here's what I came up with:

Am I glad that Jillibean Soup came out with a Christmas collection with the color PINK in it!!! YES!!!! My daughter is forever wearing PINK and to find the right Christmas collection can be tough! I couldn't wait to try it out Winter Tortellini collection ! :) Here's my layout:

I am really excited about this layout because I designed my own background paper! WooHoo!!! If it's Groovy challenged me to do it, and it was out of my comfort zone and I did it!!

I used textured paint with a stencil to create the bricks, I also used 3 different mists (light brown, black and pink), and washi tape to create my background paper. The rest of the layout I incorporated ALOT of my favorite products - Prima product, doilies, Thickers, bling and fussy cutting.

I had so much fun using this kit! I used the Mister Huey's Color mist (included in kit) and paint with a chevron stamp on kraft paper for my background. I added twine under the papers and a little bit of burlap on both sides of the photo. Of course I had to top it off with gears --- chipboard, metal, hand cut and die cut gears -- all that come with kit!!!
